SENSEI FROM SHAMBHALA

At first glance, a youth's tale of an encounter with Wisdom seems naïve. But this ordinary perception is merely an illusory barrier, a clever trap laid by our Ego on the path to the perfection of the Spirit. He who overcomes it will discover far more for himself than he could ever have hoped for. Glory to the Victor – for Knowledge will be his reward, for the secret will become reality for him.

The book is based on notes from the personal diary of a former secondary school student, reflecting the events of the summer of 1991.

This is a very powerful book. After reading it, you feel an extraordinary surge of strength, of spiritual grace. And what is most astonishing – it is, in the fullest sense, universal and relevant for any age! It is one of those books that you can open to any page and, upon reading, find something of your own hidden within.

The story is told in the first person. This book reveals the inner world of a sixteen-year-old girl who suddenly finds herself face to face with death. This prompted her to re-evaluate her life and search for answers to the eternal questions: “Why do we live, what is the meaning of life? Who am I really? Why are most people on earth believers? For if they believe, it means they hope for something. How do the great achieve their inner immortality? What is hidden behind the concept of the Human being?”

The unbridled energy of her inner quest leads her to meet an extraordinary, highly erudite man, a master of Eastern martial arts and a very mysterious Personality – Sensei. Sensei's deeply astonishing, unconventional worldview, his fascinating philosophy, his knowledge of the world and of man, dynamic Eastern martial arts, wisdom in life situations, non-traditional medicine, ancient spiritual practices (including effective techniques for combating negative thoughts), and the phenomena of human capabilities – the heroine learns all this and much more upon encountering Sensei's world. But most importantly, she finds the answers to her main inner questions.
